About the role

  • You will serve two primary functions: (1) designing and performing analyses that help the Economics and Executive Leadership teams make informed, data-driven decisions, and (2) building and maintaining systems for the parameterization of production applications.
  • You will work on a wide array of blockchain economics projects, analyses, and systems, including:
  • Designing novel mechanisms and incentive schemes
  • Building models and simulations to evaluate investment opportunities
  • Designing and parameterizing trading systems
  • Optimizing parameters for production applications
  • Contributing to the design of Economics programs and applications
  • You will optimize network incentives and systems by engaging directly with the Economics, Product, Engineering, Research, and Data Science teams to understand network dynamics at the deepest level.
  • You will meticulously operationalize processes, and coordinate cross-functionally to implement them.
